Bugatti, Porsche, Mercedes Caught Testing Multiple Prototypes On The Nurburgring

The Nurburgring is one of the most active race tracks around, with things from camouflaged prototypes to customized Corvettes popping up on its grounds. This is mostly because it is located in Germany, the home country of Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, and Mercedes. Today, we are focusing on the Nurburging's entrance and exit, which is just as exciting as the track itself. Cars of all kinds warm up here before the big day, and also speed their way out of the racetrack after tiresome testing.

Most of the vehicles seen here are being tested by automakers, and most of them have already been revealed. The star of the show is the ultra-exclusive Bugatti Centiodieci, which is spotted several times cruising around the entrance to the Nurburgring. This is part of the major testing process Bugatti vehicles undergo before, or even after deliveries. Bugatti also brought out the Chiron supercar for testing as well.

Mercedes makes a large presence at the Nurburgring today as well, with the recently unveiled 2022 C Class compact sedan and wagon seen driving in and out of the Nurburgring. The soon-to-be revealed Mercedes AMG One hypercar is spotted as well, showing off the roar of its powerful engine. The new AMG GT Black Series can also be spotted alongside the Porsche 911's and BMW test prototypes.


BMW and Porsche are also having a big testing day, with their latest cars and future models preparing for their releases. Porsche is seen testing the next-generation version of the 911 GT3 high-performance sports car, and we get a glimpse of previous models too, though they are likely personal cars. As for BMW, their eye-catching new M4 is being tested while deliveries get underway, and the upcoming 2022 M2 small sports coupe is seen prepping for its imminent reveal alongside the next-generation Europe-only 2 Series Active MPV. The advanced 2022 7 Series flagship sedan continues its road testing wrapped in camouflage, but under that disguise, we can see a large grille. That's not good. BMW is also testing prototypes of the first-ever X8 large coupe SUV, which looks to be monstrous. It looks to be an expensive flagship SUV slotting above the already-large X7, though it should be smaller than that.

The next-generation Kia Sportage makes an appearance as well, but it still wears loads of camouflage. We also spotted the Ford Mustang Mach-E driving along towards the entrance, while Mini seems to be testing an updated Countryman hatchback. The high-performance Mini JCW GP is also getting ready for the track day. Porsche is also caught testing more updated 911 variants, because there are a lot of them.The next-generation Range Rover is spotted testing too. It is another exciting day at the Nurburgring, and we can't wait to see more of these new cars on the road soon.
